ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, Match 12: PAK vs USA, weather report, stadium stats and predicted playing XIs

Pakistan are scheduled to face off USA in Match 12 of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 on Tuesday, February 10, at the Sinhalese Sports Club Ground. This is one of the key Group-stage matches for these two teams.

Pakistan come into this match with some confidence after a close win in their opening encounter, but they would also remember the shock defeat they suffered at the hands of the USA in the previous edition of the T20 World Cup and would look to set things right. The USA, however, under Monank Patel, showed good fight in the first game against defending champions India, although they lost the match, but their performance gave them belief, and they will look to take on the challenge of Pakistan with the same energy and fearlessness

PAK vs USA: Weather Report

Skies will be cloudy and humid in Colombo on the day of the match. Temperatures are likely to stay between 21°C and 25°C. There is no rain forecast, and conditions should remain pleasant for a full morning game without interruptions.
